Peter reported on the meeting between himself, Paula, Krys, and John Barney Jr.
and their presentation before the Town Board . According to Peter the Town has been
offered the use of the county circuit rider planning services, and perhaps a consultant if
necessary . The Board discussed the merits of a consultant versus circuit rider. The Board
felt an experienced planner would be preferable . Doug suggested that Joan Jerkowitz
would be the planner working with Ulysses .
The Board discussed possibly using the ZORC as a foundation for zoning
revisions. Board members agreed to read ZORC before the next meeting to discuss it.
Dave suggested that the ordinance is only part of the work and that the map would be the
real problem. The Board discussed the importance of having a comprehensible map with
information printed directly on the back, as well as a shorter summary of the ordinance.
The Board briefly discussed the possibility of having John Barney Jr. do analytic
mapping prior to the engineered map . The Board decided that a presentation by Barney
would be appropriate at the next meeting . Krys volunteered to contact him . Krys also
suggested contacting TCAD for an economic development perspective .
Krys announced an upcoming meeting with local farmers about planning tools for
preserving agriculture facilitated by Mike Culotta of the Finger Lakes Land Trust and
encouraged members to attend .

comprehensive plan on March 31 at 7 p . m . According to Doug, Bruce Wilson suggested
